Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
Squirrel proof bird feeders block squirrels from bird feeder seed. A hanging Squirrel proof feeder can use a Squirrel Proof Baffle above or Cage bird feeders. Squirrel Proof Baffle Domes need a larger than 18 inch diameter to effectively block squirrels from above.
Some of the wire mesh and wire screen bird feeders are squirrel resistant in that squirrels have a hard time chewing thru metal and can't get too much seed or clean it out. They can be a good compromise if you are not able to restrict the squirrel’s access to a bird feeder. A cage bird feeder can block access to squirrels and also larger birds. The songbirds can pass thru the grid that surrounds the feeder. You can see a great selection below of all the different styles of squirrel proof bird feeders.
